More money going into the schools? We don’t need renovation.......remember when schools were one room buildings? I think my parents and grand parents did pretty good with schools like this. Put all this on hold until our country comes back to what it’s supposed to be. We don’t need big fancy schools. We need superior education for the kids.
Back in the late 90’s New York State floated a bond issue and went nuts renovating almost every public school in the state. That worked out real well for them, didn’t it?
And what evidence is there that this country is being hampered by the quality of the physical plant of our school systems? My county has been seemingly sparing no expense in renovating schools, yet (surprise, surprise!) the students perform the same in the spiffy new schools as they did in the old ones. Now we can take that to a national scale and spend tens of billions of borrowed dollars in about the least efficient way possible. And Obama and the MSM act surprised that the economy is still down. It’s NEVER going to recover with Team Obama in charge. NEVER. These guys are simply accelerating the train the wrong direction down the track.

I attended a one room school, as did all 3 of my brothers.
We all have been self-employed for the past 30+ number of years. They all have had employees—as many as 65—in their lives as self-employed. I was alone with my business.
We got a superior education in that one room school—no running water, so it was brought in every day in a 10 gallon milk can & put into a ceramic dispensor. The 2-hole toilets were out back. A merry-go-round was our only playground entertainment.
I would NOT trade those years or being in elementary school in that time period for one single minute of being in a school today.
